NikonUSA just released a lot of inventory to dealers. As I write this (probably won't last long), B&H has the 300mm, 400mm, 500mm, and 600mm lenses back in stock. Ditto the D700 body (they had some D3s and D3x bodies for a brief time yesterday, but they were gone before I had time to post). If your local dealer has any of these products on order, it's likely they got or are about to receive a shipment from NikonUSA, too, so check around. Houston Camera Exchange tells me that they've got a 200-400mm, 500mm, and several 600mm in transit from NikonUSA, for example.
